Fuel grade
General
Depending on the region, many filling stations
sell fuel that is adapted to winter or summer
conditions. Fuel that is sold in winter helps with
cold starting, for example.
Petrol
General
For optimal fuel consumption, the petrol
should be sulphur-free or have a low sulphur
content.
Fuels labelled on the pump as containing
metal must not be used.
You can fill up with fuels with a maximum
ethanol content of 25 %, for example E10 or
E25.
The power and consumption specifications re-
fer to operation with RON 98 E10 fuel
The engine has knock control. This means that
different petrol grades can be used.
When using fuel of the minimum quality RON
91 or fuel with ethanol content of more than
10 % to a maximum of 25 %, knocking noises
as well as driving and acoustic abnormalities
may occur. These have no effect on the engine
service life.

The fuel system and engine can be damaged
by the wrong fuel, even in small quantities,
